will a D16a1 work in a 89 civic hb
It's been done before...better off using a regular d-series tranny to ease your pain of installation. As for the driver's side mount...retarded is the closest word I can think of. I helped a friend swap one of these into his 90 4-door, and I had to weld a solid mount for him to bolt from the motor to his front crossmember. :P The mount held up good, just everything else rattled apart around it.

All the rest of the mounts are on the tranny.

If that's the case dude just toss it in and strike up the welder. Shouldn't take long to make something up and should be relatively cheap. Hell take the original sohc driver side mount and make a adapter to bolt onto the stock mount and then to the front of the block like those stupid things have. Only thing is that don't those things have EGR's on them? Maybe just unbolt it and JBweld it shut or use a DOHC ZC intake manifold or just redrill a sohc manifold.
